SPEECH

WRITING
PROCESS
CONTINUE
The body of the speech provides
explanations, examples, or any details that can
help you deliver your purpose and explain the
main idea of your speech.
One major consideration in developing the
body of your speech is the focus or central
idea. The body of your speech should only
have one central idea.
The following are some strategies to highlight
your main idea.

- Present real-life or practical examples


- Show statistics
- Present comparisons
- Share ideas from the experts or practitioners
The introduction is the foundation of your
speech. Here, your primary goal is to get the
attention
of your audience and present the subject or main
idea of your speech. Your first few words
should do so.
The following are some strategies.
- Use a real-life experience and connect that
experience to your subject.
- Use practical examples and explain their
connection to your subject.
- Start with a familiar or strong quote and then
explain what it means.
- Use facts or statistics and highlight their
importance to your subject.
- Tell a personal story to illustrate your point.
The conclusion restates the main idea of your
speech. Furthermore, it provides a summary,
emphasizes the message, and calls for action.
While the primary goal of the introduction is to
get the attention of your audience, the
conclusion aims to leave the audience with a
memorable statement.
The following are some strategies.
- Begin your conclusion with a restatement of
your message.
- Use positive examples, encouraging words, or
memorable lines from songs or stories familiar to
your audience.
- Ask a question or series of questions that can
make your audience reflect or ponder.
•Editing/Revising your written speech involves
correcting errors in mechanics, such as grammar,
•punctuation, capitalization, unity, coherence,
and others.

•Andrew Dlugan (2013), an awardwinning


•public speaker, lists six power principles for
speech editing.
•Edit for focus.
•“So, what’s the point? What’s the message of
the speech?”
•Ensure that everything you have written, from
introduction to conclusion, is related to your
central message.
•Edit for clarity.
•“I don’t understand the message because the
examples or supporting details were confusing.”
•Make all ideas in your speech clear by arranging
them in logical order (e.g., main idea first then
supporting details, or supporting details first
then main idea).
•Edit for concision.
•“The speech was all over the place; the
speaker kept talking endlessly as if no one
was listening to him/her.”
•Keep your speech short, simple, and clear by
eliminating unrelated stories and sentences
and by using simple words.
•Edit for continuity.
•“The speech was too difficult to follow; I was
lost in the middle.”
•Keep the flow of your presentation smooth
by adding transition words and phrases.
•Edit for variety.
•“I didn’t enjoy the speech because it was
boring.”
•Add spice to your speech by shifting tone
and style from formal to conversational and
•vice-versa, moving around the stage, or
adding humor.
•Edit for impact and beauty.
•“There’s nothing really special about the
speech.”
•Make your speech memorable by using these
strategies: surprise the audience, use vivid
•descriptive images, write well-crafted and
memorable lines, and use figures of speech.
•Rehearsing gives you an opportunity to identify
what works and what does not work for you
•and for your target audience. Some strategies
include reading your speech aloud, recording
•for your own analysis or for your peers or
coaches to give feedback on your delivery. The
best
•thing to remember at this stage is: “Constant
practice makes perfect.”
•Some Guidelines in Speech Writing
•1. Keep your words short and simple. Your speech is
meant to be heard by your audience, not read.
•2. Avoid jargon, acronyms, or technical words because
they can confuse your audience.
•3. Make your speech more personal. Use the personal
pronoun “I,” but take care not to overuse it.
•4. Use active verbs and contractions because they
add to the personal and conversational tone of your
speech.
•5. Be sensitive of your audience. Be very careful with
your language, jokes, and nonverbal cues.
•6. Use metaphors and other figures of speech to
effectively convey your point.
•7. Manage your time well; make sure that the speech
falls under the time limit.
